I have the honor to forward herewith a copy of the last issue of the Shenandoah Herald (marked) which directly contradicts the editor's letter to Gen. Scofield, and also substantiates my statements.  In regard to the latter part of the article - it refers to the seisure of U.S. homes and arms last year (1866) under orders from Genl. R. Ayres commanding this Dist at that time - this is not the first attack of the kind.
To conclude I would respectfully state that I have not, nor shall I take any notice of such articles, relying on my official record, and character to refute all such calumnies.

Respectfully Your Obt Sevt
J.A. Hall
Lt VRC & Asst Supt
